Production budget
was $13mil. It has made
almost eight million.
It will probably
break even in theaters,
and maybe profit
as a DVD.
Film buffs will want a copy
for novelty sake,
and gays will want one
as a kind of memento.
If a budget's low,
almost any film
can be Corman-ed into a
small profit at least.
If it makes about 11 million at the box office, DVD sales might put it at the break-even point, but seeing that it has increased the number of theatres dramatically and still declined 28% shows that the movie has just about run its course. Considering how much controversy it's generating, and it's brilliant marketing, it's a rather tepid box office showing.
